Thoughts on Post Length

[andr0meda]

I will say that one thing I am excited about here is the fact that long-form posting feels more... encouraged here, in a sense? I loved reading long posts and comments on Cohost, but I still felt like I had to trim the fat off of all my thoughts and make sure that everything I posted was easy for everybody to digest at a glance. Old habits enforced by larger social media websites die hard, I suppose.

This does excite me because I have a lot of TieJen thoughts that could easily evolve into essays, though. Especially as my rewatch of 00 continues. I'm already thinking about how Jenni's core issues in Season 1 are self-isolation and toxic self-reliance, and how it affects her dynamic with Tieria. I'm gonna be honest: there were points in which they were making each other worse.

Yup! We, for instance, use multiple cuts as makeshift bookmarks (in the HTML sense) in a post--for instance, if an essay is in multiple sections, we can make a read more for each section so readers can get to exactly what they want!

And you can also put the readmores (we call them cuts here) anywhere you want. Some people for instance, may only cut a sentence and put it behind a "CW: sad thing" cut! It's very flexible.
